(UPDATE: Aug. 13 @ 1 p.m.) - The search is still on for a convicted murderer who escaped from Mission Minimum Institution last week.
John Norman MacKenzie went missing between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 7, which was discovered when he went unaccounted for during the prison's 10:15 p.m. head count.
Staff Sgt. Steve Crawford of the Mission RCMP told NowMedia that the search for MacKenzie has resulted in "nothing at this point."
Today, the RCMP sent out a request to have a forensic artist provide an updated visual for MacKenzie, as the picture being distributed is not a recent one.
Once that new artist's sketch of MacKenzie is complete, it will be provided to the media and public.
MacKenzie is described as a 5’9”, 196 lbs Caucasian man with blue eyes, greying brown hair, a greying brown goatee and a scar on the side of right eye.
The 57-year-old is serving a life-sentence for second-degree murder, armed robbery and other offences, but is "considered to be a low risk to the public."
